528 HEMI Complete Powertrain - The Price Is Right

[@kenbtheman]

As a mopar restorer I can appreciate this whole setup you have. We have a warehouse the size of an airplane hanger full of parts (used and new). We also have over one hundred cars (mopar) for sale or parts, and with all of that just a microscopic bit of it is hemi related. Original gen 2 hemi parts are getting harder to find every day. When I started working at chrysler back in 69 the stuff was all over the place, now people hoard everything and it drives prices up if you can find what you need. Great job Nick. Don't know what you're asking, but just hang in there, someone with deep pockets will eventually come and scoop it up.

[@HiAxl]

🙌 Link me to your inventory?

[@martyg2011]

Hello Nick and The Team, The Hemi belongs in a museum side by side with your beautifully restored Kowalski. They should be sold together to the right buyer. A buyer that is as dedicated and passionate as you and your team. Best regards!

[@NicksGarage]

That would be cool!

[@ecleveland1]

I would think Chrysler would love to have it on display.

[@joeljenkins2876]

Any TRUE MOPAR enthusiast would (funds permitting) gobble this up in a heartbeat!!! With Nick's passion and commitment, whoever does buy this will KNOW it was done RIGHT, and THAT ALONE makes it worth whatever price Nick put on it. Fantastic job sir, and great week to you guys!!!

Much appreciated.

[@eugenecastles7475]

A Monday afternoon and a version of The Price Is Right, Nick's Garage style, just awesome! Very cool to see an entire E-Body Hemi driveline on display, especially one that is detailed to perfection. As rare as some of these parts are makes this driveline absolutely priceless. Nick, please don't sell this driveline, like you did to The Keeper Hemi. I know that will all of the work that you put into building this combination, the machining, and the parts chasing. this combo has got to be worth north of $75,000USD. This combo would make someone's E-Body a world class car. I really enjoyed this video George, great camera work.

[@nickpanaritis4122]

Hi Eugene. I will not let it go unless the price is what I want. I would like to install it in a 1970 White Challenger R/T with a red interior. If not sold.

[@rickh8380]

If I had the money...I would double whatever the highest bid was. Beautiful setup Nick. What a treasure. Take care.

[@timbullough3513]

It is no less art than the finest museum has to peruse

[@HS-iv8wr]

At first I guessed 55k usd. Then about the middle of the video I thought 72k. By the end of the video after I saw all the parts, research and Nicks knowledge and work I was at 135k USD. Truly a beautiful piece.....

[@billjamison2877]

Nick, that's my Dream Hemi! If I had the cash, I'd buy it in a heartbeat, then I'd need to buy a 1969 Roadrunner to put it in! I hope to get up there to see your shop sometime. We met at Carlisle this year and that was the highlight of my summer. Shaking the hand of the KING of MoPar is something I'll never forget. Bill Jamison from Linglestown Pennsylvania

Nick, that driveline is awesome in every way, looks stock and has over 600 HP and Torque, and enough vacuum for power brakes. Not to mention how complete it is. My guess would be $ 100,000.00

A freshly rebuild drum brake assembly is a thing of beauty, they only look like that once 👍

[@ecleveland1]

Believe it or not when I rebuild the drum brakes on my F350 they look almost like factory new. I clean everything spotless and go back with new shoes, wheel cylinders, complete hardware kit and a new drum if I can’t turn it. If something is rusted I remove the rust and paint it or replace it. It’s much easier and less expensive to buy a new brake assembly than each individual piece. Many people don’t know about the assembly being available under one part number. It’s the same with trailer brakes. There’s no reason to fuss with every single part when you can get a complete assembly. Fact is check for manufacturers complete assemblies when working on rebuilding parts. I got a factory built assembly fuel bowl assembly for my 7.3 Powerstroke and saved almost $100 from buying just the parts to repair it.

[@krz8888888]

I don't know anything about prices but this is a work of art. Upgrades where needed while keeping the factory spirit going

[@richardwiseman2601]

Nick… please matey, I’m on the money 💰 here, your not going to sell it in any means. Your to smart for that, your building up the hype so all of your viewers will beg you to put in some sort of a car, obviously that you will have to source then purchase and so and behold… it’s a continuous process both installing it and a 12 part series on Nick’s garage. Absolutely great business ethics, as well as passionate enthusiasts like myself that will tune in everyday to see your expertise involved in the motor skills and motor sport you grew to love. Take care champion, to you and your team. Love the channel, and keep up the great work. From Jorgi in Australia 🇦🇺

[@mattdegrange6274]

Great Job Nick . Totally a quality build. All correct hardware, Dyno Sheets , Trans , Driveshaft , Rear-end. I am estimating that the correct price for this entire set up . $250,000.00 . That would also include all if Nicks Labor . Parts, And assembly of the entire drivetrain. Great Job Nick. I would keep the entire set up ,and build a car for it Nick .

$48,500 is my guess and I sure as hell don't have the cash. Never won the Power Ball. What a beast. Always hoped that Nick would put it in his Challenger for awhile.

[@jackblack3886]

OK, my last big block build was 43 years ago. I can fully appreciate chasing vintage parts though. Without your labor and you mentioned you already had the block & rods. My guess is $77,900. in parts. This assumes carbs, all correct fittings and fabbed parts. Assumed that trans & rear axle assembly were done by others. Doesn't include countless hours ordering parts or assembly of drive train. Congrats on a 1st class build!!

That drivetrain is worth more than my entire '68 GTX, Nick - but you know this. As many years as it took me to get the car to a presentable, driving point, such a drivetrain as yours will never happen in my lifetime - but that's ok. I survived cancer six times, got revived a handfull more and am still here - and the GTX (my wife named him "Fred") always needs something else, but I'm still alive and I got the car finished enough to drive around before I ran out of time myself. It's all good, my friend - and that drivetrain is *amazing* . Great job and I wish you the best of luck with the sale! - Ed n the Ridge

I know it means a lot to you personally, but my guess 125k, US., you gotta find a car for this Nick, or I would call Jay Leno, I bet he would be interested, he knows what it`s worth.

If this engine is hand built by Nick, I need it in my bucket list car also built by Nick, 71-74 Cuda in Amber Sherwood or Ivy green, Black interior, black wheels. We probably better beef up the transmission and rear end too, I'd also require that Nick does a smokey burn out just to make sure everything works, probably won't have to twist his arm about doing that lol. I'd also like to add this is easily a 6 figure setup, I've seen what parts matching Cuda's go for down here in the states, you better have deep 6 figures to spend.

[@steveferro5091]

Love your channel Nick and company!!! Keep it up!! My guess for parts only, no labor or dyno time is 48 grand usd. You should make that your new "keeper"

[@kwhite145]

A friend had a 69’ Roadrunner same setup scary fast!

[@spandecker727]

So just the parts, I’m thinking about 28k, obviously including labor more than doubles the true value, especially if you include the fact it’s built by Nick with full paperwork and even video documentation. Pretty rare to see a motor for sale with a dyno session on KZbin, that’s probably worth another 5k 😊

[@danielfarmer1334]

Some of this stuff is hard to get, if you can find it, would take months and cost thousands, im guessing 6 figures, as a complete drop in(and youd never find any thing put together right on e-bay) 220,000 might be a low ball for something like this, and professionally built by some one who not only cares, but knows what hes doing, if you had a machine shop, start from scratch, 300,000 wouldnt be unheard of, this is ready to install, in hours, to be road and or track ready, dyno tested and tuned, i thing my numbers are a little low, cant wait to see how wrong i am, Nicks is the place to trust for performance a whole lot of Mopar Horse Power and Mopar Love, street or strip !

[@kevinnobody3052]

I'd love to take that motor and make a 68 Dart LO23 tribute car I think the Hemi 68 LO23 Darts were the top of the food chain.

The engine block is NEW and its been built to be ORIGINAL in every way - with a complete drive train it's a rare beast and probably the only entire/complete example in the world in such good condition.
